In linux the lp module doesn't use an IRQ, it polls instead, doesn't it? I
mean, look at this:

[7 mmagallo scratchy:~] cat /proc/interrupts 
 0:     924972   timer
 1:      24832   keyboard
 2:          0   cascade
 3:     148937   NE2000
 4:      14280 + serial
10:    1311714 + fdomain
13:          1   math error
14:     191086 + ide0

and the printer does its job nicely...
